Cute. I wonder how many people would actually get sucked into this one?

They're being more and more imaginative each day, I mean, the virus makers...
Does avast protect us against this one?

hey tech-its unsafe to give out your credit card info on the internet in the first place if you have any common sense ::)
but as orangecrate mentioned a lot of people are getting sucked into doing it :o
Trojan.Kardphisher is a Trojan horse that attempts to steal credit card numbers by tricking the user into entering their credit card details to activate Windows.
